Chords

[Verse 1]
C
I still remember Miss Bessie singing

                                       D
Black, wrinkled fingers on ivory keys

C                                         D
Just five years old, my church shoes a-dangling

C                                   G                C
Yeah, she's long gone and I'm still chasing this song
[Chorus]
      G        D                    G              D
With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines

      G                D                 Em         D
That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride

D              G               Cadd9        G
I got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it

D             G            Em             D
 Married to a dream with a mistress named music
[Verse 2]
C
No hope and squarely solitary

                                               D
Enough whiskey and Coke, boys, to get me in a bind

C                                               D
Amps juiced, the whole damn block could hear me

                          C
Even that cop car rolling past

                          G
By the time they hit the front door

               D
I was out the back
[Chorus]
      G        D                    G              D
With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines

      G                D                 Em         D
That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride

D              G               Cadd9        G
I got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it

D             G            Em             D
 Married to a dream with a mistress named music
(na na na...............) D Cadd9 G D D Cadd9 Em D [Verse 3]
C
White calloused fingers on bronze and nylon

C                                       D
These same old boots are still tapping time

C                              D
Not quite the buzz I used to tie on

             C               G
But 'til I'm gone, I'll be chasing this song
[Verse] (Angel Eyes)
C     Em             Fmaj7  G
Girl, you're looking fine tonight

C         Em            Fmaj7    G
And every guy has got you in his sight

F           Em         Dm           C
What you're doing with a clown like me

F            Em               D7
Is surely one of life's little mysteries
[Chorus]
     C          Em
So tonight I'll ask

F          G
The stars above

C         Em    F        G
"How did I ever win your love?"

F        C
What did I do,

E        Am
What did I say

F            C     G          C
To turn your angel eyes my way
[Verse] (Fins)
          G        A      D
She came down from Cincinnati

            G          A      D
It took her three days on the train

G                A         D
Lookin' for some peace and quiet

G                A   D
Hoped to see the sun again

            G          A      D
But now she lives down by the ocean

             G        A       D
She's takin' care to look for sharks

     G         A      D
They hang out in the local bars

         G          A      D
And they feed right after dark
[Chorus]
F#7m               B7m
Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey

F#7m                        B7m
Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around

        G           A     G           A
You got fins to the left, fins to the right

                G   A       D
And you're the only bait in town

        G           A     G           A
You got fins to the left, fins to the right

                G    A      D
And you're the only girl in town
[Verse] (Feel Like Making Love)
D                   G
Baby, when I think about you,

              D  G
I think about love.

D                          G
Darling, couldn't live without you,

         D  G
and your love.

     D                G             D      G
If I had those golden dreams, of my yesterday

        D
I would wrap you,

       G
In the heavens,

            D                           G
And feel it dying (dying, dying) on the way
[Chorus]
                   D
I feel like making

G                    D
Feel like making love

G                    D
Feel like making love

G                    D
Feel like making love

          C      G       D
Feel like making love to you
[Verse] (Pink Houses)
              E
Well there's a young man, in a tee-shirt,
listening to a rockin' rollin' station He's got greasy hair, and a greasy smile he says,
 D              A          E
"Lord this must be my destination"
Cause they told me, when I was younger, "Boy you're gonna be President"
              D                               A
But just like everything else those old crazy dreams,

                    E
just kinda came and went
[Chorus]
E                  A                    E
Oh, but ain't that America, for you and me?

           A                     E
Ain't that America, something to see baby?

           A                    B
Ain't that America, home of the free?

                        A
Little pink houses, for you and me
[Verse] (End of the Innocence)
G
Remember when the days were long

        C
and rolled beneath a deep blue sky

G
Didn't have a care in the world

          C          D
With mommy and daddy standing by

      G
But happily ever after fails

                       C
and we've been poisoned by these fairy tales

      G
The lawyers dwell on small details

          Em     C       D
Since daddy had to fly
[Chorus]
          Em7                     Am7
Ah but I know a place where we can go

Em7           Cmaj7         D
That's still untouched by man

Em7                         Am7
We'll sit and watch the clouds go by

        Cmaj7                   D
and the tall grass wave in the wind

            G               C
you can lay your head back on the ground

    G                C
And let your hair fall all around me

G               C
Offer up your best defense

      Em7          Am7   D                Em7 D
But this is the end,      This is the end

           G

[Bridge]
  D
 Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault

  C                            G
 Love to hear the steel belts hummin on the asphalt

  D
 Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop

   C                         D7
 Stumble in the restaurant, wonderin' why I don't stop
[Verse 3]

 When my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man put my back to the risers and make my stand

G                                                                            C           C  G/B
